Creation Conference

Perspective

This August, the Seventh International Conference on Creationism convened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This August, the Seventh International Conference on Creationism convened in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since the first conference in 1986, experts have gathered
for several days every few years to present peer-reviewed papers on topics ranging
from astrophysics to zoology. After each presentation, speakers open the floor
to questions from their peers and others interested in new ideas in creationism.

Besides giving biblically consistent explanations for the universe, several
presentations showed clearly that long-held evolutionary ideas are in serious
trouble.

Physicist Dr. Steve Gollmer of Cedarville University got right to the heart
of the debate. He documented how the most prominent secular physicists, who
insist on limiting science to the material world, nonetheless resort to faith
arguments to explain the origin of the universe.

Dr. Paul Nelson of the Discovery Institute told an evening crowd that genetics
research is inexorably pushing honest scientists to give up the neo-Darwinian
idea of life’s common ancestor and look for other explanations of life’s origin.

Biologists Brian Thomas of the Institute for Creation Research and Mark Armitage
of the Creation Research Society presented overwhelming evidence of soft tissue
in fossils assumed to be millions of years old. Scientific observation has shown
beyond reasonable doubt that such tissue cannot survive even one million years.
But so far, secular scientists are questioning these known facts, rather than
reevaluating their old-age presuppositions.

Perhaps keynote speaker Professor Andy McIntosh, a researcher and speaker from
Great Britain, summed up the imperative behind creationist research best. After
giving several examples of the economic and social value of such research, he
reminded his audience that all our apologetic and scientific arguments should
focus on one goal: to drive people to Christ.
